Ég harma mín opnu sár
er blæðir ofan í óseðjandi greipar ástvina.
Hin tifandi klukka er nú minn fastbundni taumur,
minn grályndi draumur.
endalaus tímaþröng, sem aldrei tekur enda.
Er hver ósk þyngir mín skref, hvert ákvæði stingur mitt bak
bíð ég eftir geðstillingu frá þeim vítiskvölum
er éta fylli sína af holdi mínu og blóði.
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
It's a fierce black metal record that has this really cool melodic parts that they seem to have singled out so it shines like a forest fire. Cool record althroughout and has been a favourite of mine eversince.

L'E.P. Spire peut servir de très bonne introduction à celles et ceux qui veulent découvrir Mesarthim avec un son plus accessible et instrumental. Quand "Crater" sert d'introduction electro très douce — c'est limite si le chant sert de berceuse — finissant sur des amen breaks complexes, "Spire" mise plutôt sur un black metal atmosphérique merveilleux.
On notera que, si . fait tout, cela ne veut pas dire que . ne fait rien : il fait "l'autre". Un indice qu'il faut regarder derrière les choses... Jordan Vauvert
